This year I was challenged to get my husband a Christmas gift that would be "totally unexpected".
Can you guess who threw down this challenge?
While he may have thought the red fleece "hand holding mittens" (found at Ocean State Job Lot for $1.99) were my answer to his challenge, I went above and beyond winter wear.
The road I chose was: handpainted custom dog portraits of BGD's favorite canines, Jake & Maisy.
These adorable portraits were painted by the talented Denise Levy
I saw Denise's work on another blog (Kelly Lautenbach) and I fell in love & knew my husband would love portraits of his best friends.
Denise was very easy to work with and incorporated all my special requests (all the specific handpainted words, the color schemes and even the daisy for Daisy in Maisy's portrait). I'm so happy with the paintings--I think they may be one of the best gifts I've ever given my husband.
Of course it doesn't hurt that I get to enjoy them too ;-)
